What are the effects of getting less than 8 hours a day have on a student what can they do to improve the amount of sleep they get each night?

Question is answer: You left the word "sleep" out of your sentence, so obviously your lack of adequate sleep is affecting you. Studies have confirmed that sleep deprivation in students causes learning difficulties. That said, 8 hours is an average number--some people do fine on 3 hours and others need 14 hours. Whatever your correct duration is, make sure you get it.
